Henley-on-Thames is a town and civil parish on the River Thames in Oxfordshire, England, about 10 miles (16 km) downstream and 7 miles (11 km) northeast of Reading, 10 miles upstream and 7 miles west from Maidenhead. One of its boundaries has the tripoint of Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. The first record of Henley is from 1179, when it is recorded that King Henry II "had bought land for the making of buildings". King John granted the manor of Benson and the town and manor of Henley to Robert Harcourt in 1199. A church at Henley is first mentioned in 1204. In 1205 the town received a paviage grant, and in 1234 the bridge is first mentioned. In 1278 Henley is described as a hamlet of Benson with a chapel. The street plan was probably established by the end of the 13th century. As a demesne of the crown it was granted in 1337 to John de Molyns, whose family held it for about 250 years. It is said that members for Henley sat in parliaments of Edward I and Edward III, but no writs have been found to substantiate this. The existing Thursday market, it is believed, was granted by a charter of King John. A market was certainly in existence by 1269; however, the jurors of the assize of 1284 said that they did not know by what warrant the earl of Cornwall held a market and fair in the town of Henley. The existing Corpus Christi fair was granted by a charter of Henry VI. During the Black Death pandemic that swept through England in the 14th century, Henley lost 60% of its population. By the beginning of the 16th century the town extended along the west bank of the Thames from Friday Street in the south to the Manor, now Phyllis Court, in the north and took in Hart Street and New Street. To the west it included Bell Street and the Market Place. Henry VIII granted the use of the titles "mayor" and "burgess", and the town was incorporated in 1568 in the name of the warden, portreeves, burgesses and commonalty. The original charter was issued by Elizabeth I but replaced by one from George I in 1722. Henley suffered at the hands of both parties in the Civil War. Later, William III rested here on his march to London in 1688, at the nearby recently rebuilt Fawley Court, and received a deputation from the Lords. The town's period of prosperity in the 17th and 18th centuries was due to manufactures of glass and malt, and trade in corn and wool. Henley-on-Thames supplied London with timber and grain. A workhouse to accommodate 150 people was built at West Hill in Henley in 1790, and was later enlarged to accommodate 250 as the Henley Poor Law Union workhouse. Henley Bridge is a five arched bridge across the river built in 1786. It is a Grade I listed building. During 2011 the bridge underwent a £200,000 repair programme after being hit by the boat Crazy Love in August 2010. About a mile upstream of the bridge is Marsh Lock. Chantry House is the second Grade I listed building in the town. It is unusual in having more storeys on one side than on the other. Chantry House, next to the church. The Church of England parish church of St Mary the Virgin is nearby, and has a 16th-century tower. The Old Bell is a pub in the centre of Henley. The building has been dated from 1325: the oldest-dated building in the town. To celebrate Queen Victoria's Jubilee, 60 oak trees were planted in the shape of a Victoria Cross near Fair Mile. Two notable buildings just outside Henley, in Buckinghamshire, are:- Fawley Court, a red-brick building designed by Christopher Wren for William Freeman (1684) with subsequent interior remodelling by James Wyatt and landscaping by Lancelot "Capability" Brown. Greenlands, which took its present form when owned by W. H. Smith and is now home to Henley Business School The River and Rowing Museum, located in Mill Meadows, is the town's one museum. It was established in 1998, and officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II. The museum, designed by the architect David Chipperfield, features information on the River Thames, the sport of rowing, and the town of Henley itself. The University of Reading's Henley Business School is near Henley, as is Henley College. Henley is a world-renowned centre for rowing. Each summer the Henley Royal Regatta is held on Henley Reach, a naturally straight stretch of the river just north of the town. It was extended artificially. The event became "Royal" in 1851, when Prince Albert became patron of the regatta. Other regattas and rowing races are held on the same reach, including Henley Women's Regatta, the Henley Boat Races for women's and lightweight teams between Oxford and Cambridge University, Henley Town and Visitors Regatta, Henley Veteran Regatta, Upper Thames Small Boats Head, Henley Fours and Eights Head, and Henley Sculls. These "Heads" often attract strong crews that have won medals at National Championships.

The Socorro Dove (Zenaida graysoni or Zenaida macroura graysoni) is a dove that is extinct in the wild.
It was endemic to Socorro Island, 550 km off the west coast of Mexico. The last confirmed sighting of a wild Socorro dove was in 1972 and it is was officially declared extinct in 1978, following human settlement on the island some 20 years earlier, predation by cats (it is a ground-dwelling bird), and overgrazing of its habitat by sheep. There are not more than some 200 and probably fewer than 100 purebred birds in captivity.
The Socorro Dove (Zenaida macroura graysoni) is was formerly a subspecies of the Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura) in North America. The dove is now officially considered a separate species (Zenaida graysoni).
The Socorro Dove is still larger and darker as the Mourning Dove and more heavily built.
It is a medium-sized dove, 26.5–34 cm long and weighs 190 g on average.
The Socorro Dove hybridizes readily with the Mourning Dove and a great many of the Socorros in the US, when DNA tested, have been shown to by hybrids. This is not the case with the European-bred birds and it is this stock that will be used for the reintroduction programme.
This picture was taken in Burgers Desert, a part of Burgers Zoo in Arnhem, the Netherlands.
De Socorroduif (Zenaida graysoni), ook wel Socorrotreurduif en Graysonduif genoemd, is een duif die in het wild is uitgestorven. Sinds 1972 komt deze vogel niet meer voor op het eiland Socorro in de oostelijke Grote Oceaan, 550 km voor de Mexicaans kust, waar hij endemisch was.
Omdat er geen roofzoogdieren op het oorspronkelijk onbewoonde eiland Socorro voorkomen, liet de duif zich gemakkelijk pakken door katten die rond 1950 naar het eiland waren gebracht. Ook voor mensen is de duif niet echt bang. Er zijn nog ongeveer 200 exemplaren in gevangenschap, waarvan minder dan 100 nog echt zuiver is. Een programma is opgezet voor herintroductie van de soort op het eiland.
Deze roodbruine duif kan ruim 30 cm lang worden en weegt gemiddeld 190 gram. De roodkleurige snavel is kort en slank met een donkere punt. Het mannetje is wat meer uitgesproken van kleur dan het vrouwtje.
Op het eiland kwam de Socorrotreurduif vooral voor in bosachtig gebied boven de 500 meter.
Hij eet zaden, fruit en kleine insecten.
Deze foto is genomen in Burgers Desert, de grote overdekt woestijnhal van Burgers Zoo.

In Nepal, the Rural Women's Economic Empowerment Joint Programme, implemented by UN Women, Food and Agriculture Organization, International Fund for Agricultural Development and World Food Programme, and funded by a consortium of donors seeks to improve women farmers’ agricultural production and income, but also changed gender-discriminatory attitudes of their male counterparts.
Rural women form a large proportion of the agricultural labour force in Nepal and play a vital yet unrecognized role in agriculture that sustains nearly 80 percent of the population. Perceived mainly as care givers, their work in farming is largely undervalued. Women farmers are often paid less than men for the same work, and lack access to resources and markets due to discriminatory attitudes. However, since the launch of the Joint Programme, a new narrative is unfolding across the villages of Rauthat and Sindhuli districts.
As more Nepalese men migrate abroad to find work, an increasing number of rural women are taking up farming. By improving women’s agricultural production, access to markets and leadership skills, the programme has increased their income, food security and independence.
Pictured: Chandra Kala Thapa, one of many smallholder women farmers from Ranichuri village in Sindhuli district, was barely able to produce enough grains to feed her family. With support from the Joint Programme, she converted her field from grain production to high-value vegetables. “Now the prices are good and the money comes on time. This was not the case when I used to cultivate grains instead of high-value vegetables,” she says.

Post WWII service. On the 1st April 1945 while serving with the British Pacific Fleet, HMS ULSTER, had a near miss by a Japanese kamikaze and a 500 lb bomb during Operation Iceberg, the invasion of Okinawa. HMS Ulster had her machinery spaces badly damaged and had to be towed to Leyte by the cruiser HMS GAMBIA for temporary repairs. Two sailors died and one was seriously injured in the attack. After temporary repairs she sailed for Australia on a single shaft (she was able to reach 24 knots if required). Nearly six months after the attack in October 1945 Ulster made it back to HM Dockyard, Chatham in England to undergo full repairs.
February 1946 she recommissioned as a training vessel, first for boys then Cadets and Midshipmen. December 1952 she paid off into Reserve Fleet at Devonport.
1953 Selected for conversion to a Type 15 frigate and towed to Chatham in 1954 in preparation for the conversion which was carried out between 1955-1956.
In 1957 she joined the 8th Frigate Squadron. Soon she was on duty in Iceland, Azores, and assigned to the North America and West Indies Station, based at the Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda, cruising to the West Indies and visiting the United States.
In 1964 she was again put into reserve in Plymouth. A year later in 1965, Ulster was re-commissioned in the 2nd Frigate Squadron, but then in 1967 was withdrawn from operational service.
In 1966, the heavily damaged stern was replaced with that of HMS Urchin
During the late 1960s, Ulster was used by naval ratings from HMS Vernon for seagoing training in the Sonar Control Room (SCR). In 1970 she was present at Portsmouth Navy Days; at the time she was the Navy's Navigational Training Ship. The destroyer was used as a training hulk at HMS Raleigh between 1977 and 1980.
Finally in 1980 Ulster was bought by Thos W Ward .The ship was taken under tow to Inverkeithing, Rosyth where she arrived on 2nd November 1980 for demolition.

I decided to begin my ‘Streets Of Ireland 2016’ programme with a visit to Kilkenny and unfortunately I was a bit unlucky with the weather as it rained for most of my three day visit. On Monday I walked around the city centre photographing at random.
Kilkenny is a city located in south-east part of Ireland and the county town of County Kilkenny. It is on both banks of the River Nore in the province of Leinster. The city is administered by a Borough Council and a Mayor which is a level below that of city council in the Local government of the state although the Local Government Act 2001 allows for "the continued use of the description city". The borough has a population of 8,711, but the majority of the population lives outside the borough boundary: the 2011 Irish Census gives the total population of the Borough and Environs as 24,423.
Kilkenny is a popular tourist destination. In 2009 the City of Kilkenny celebrated its 400th year since the granting of city status in 1609. Though referred to as a city, Kilkenny City is the size of a large town, most equatable in size to the town of Navan, situated on the banks of the Boyne in county Meath.
Kilkenny's heritage is evident in the city and environs including the historic buildings such as Kilkenny Castle, St. Canice's Cathedral and round tower, Rothe House, Shee Alms House, Black Abbey, St. Mary's Cathedral, Kilkenny Town Hall, St. Francis Abbey, Grace's Castle, and St. John's Priory.
Kilkenny is well known for its culture with craft and design workshops, the Watergate Theatre, public gardens and museums. Annual events include Kilkenny Arts Festival,the Cat Laughs comedy festival and music at the Rhythm and Roots festival and the Source concert. It is a popular base from which to explore the surrounding towns, villages and countryside. Controversy exists at the moment around the Kilkenny Central Access Scheme which is a road proposed to be built through the city centre.
Kilkenny began with an early sixth century ecclesiastical foundation within the kingdom of Ossory. Following Norman invasion of Ireland, Kilkenny Castle and a series of walls were built to protect the burghers of what became a Norman merchant town. William Marshall, Lord of Leinster, gave Kilkenny a charter as a town in 1207. By the late thirteenth century Kilkenny was under Norman-Irish control. The Statutes of Kilkenny passed at Kilkenny in 1367, aimed to curb the decline of the Hiberno-Norman Lordship of Ireland. In 1609 King James I of England granted Kilkenny a Royal Charter giving it the status of a city. Following the Rebellion of 1641, the Irish Catholic Confederation, also known as the "Confederation of Kilkenny", was based in Kilkenny and lasted until the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland in 1649.
Kilkenny was a famous brewing centre from the late seventeenth century. In the late twentieth century Kilkenny is a tourist and creative centre.
The Heritage Council offices are located at Church Lane. The seat of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Ossory is at St. Mary's Cathedral and the Church of Ireland Bishop of Cashel and Ossory is at St. Canice's Cathedral. Nearby larger cities include Waterford 45 kilometres (28 mi) south-southeast, Limerick 93 kilometres (58 mi) west and Dublin 101 kilometres (63 mi) northeast.
Old (2006) indicative wireframes I was asked to draw up to sell the idea of programme pages within BBC New Media. Very much on the back of the work of Tom Coates in R&Mi, the PiPs team, and the early iMP and iPlayer teams.
They were blue-sky - so there are commercial links in some of them, which wouldn't be possible. They were more to get people thinking about what might be possible.
Drawn in felt pen on layout paper at about 4 in the morning, then scanned in in chunks and reassembled in photoshop, because I didn't have any kind of drawing software on my PC.
Putting them up for... dunno, nostalgia, really. It'll be interesting to see how much of the stuff we talked about back then turns up over the next few years.
